It's going to start getting cold soon in Chicago. It's unfortunate, but it's just the price we pay for living in this part of the country. Cold weather usually means that home construction projects hibernate until the weather gets warm again. Most people don't even think about it, but if you've been considering a major home construction project, now is the time to get serious. Planning these types of things takes time. It doesn't hurt to start figuring out what you want done when Spring rolls around.

The winter is our down season. It just goes with the nature of the hardwood flooring business. Major home construction projects are usually much easier when there isn't snow on the ground. That's not to say that we can't do hardwood floors when it's cold, it just doesn't happen as often as it does during the summer. It makes sense when you think about it. We tend to be more active during the summer so we like to give our homes a work out.

"One thing leads to another and before you know it, you have construction guys in your home all summer."

We suggest figuring out whether your hardwood floors are going to be needing any type of major work over the next few months. You can even begin looking at a possible stain for your future hardwood floors. We've had customers tell us time and time again about how much of a hassle it is when you begin doing home construction. One thing leads to another and before you know it, you have construction guys in your home all summer. It's easy to mitigate this as long as you take the time to plan things out. Have multiple projects going on at the same time if you're worried about a state of constant home repair.

We're more than happy to get the ball rolling with any hardwood floor projects you have in mind. Give us a call or send us an email if you have any questions!
